Can a married lesbian couple divorce in Maryland even though they could not marry there? (yet) A trial court in Maryland said no, and the appeal of that ruling was heard today in the Maryland Court of Appeals. You can watch the oral argument by NCLR legal director Shannon Minter here.

About Me

I have been working on gay and lesbian family law issues for more than 35 years. I teach at American University Washington College of Law, but for the 2011-2012 academic year and the Fall Semester 2012 I was the McDonald/Wright Chair of Law at UCLA. I have published many law review articles and book chapters. BEYOND (STRAIGHT AND GAY) MARRIAGE is my first book.
